Phidgets and WinCE
I recently got my Phidgets kit – thanks to Microsoft. It’s really cool with every possible sensor that one can think of – RFID tags, LEDs, motor, LCD etc. etc. On top of all this folks at Phidgets have added support for Phidgets with eBox (from ICop-Tech). With this I think building projects with eBox has become much easier. To say that I am impressed with the job Phidgets team has done to enable access to their peripherals would be an understement. They have done everything from writing USB driver to writing WinCE based native library, .NET enabled it by writing Interop-wrappers – you name it and they have it. Hats off to Phidgets team for doing the whole pass. It also goes to show how dedicated and versatile one needs to be in todays Embedded Systems world. I will keep you posted on what one can do with Phidgets and eBox together.
I would strongly recommend eBox + Phidgets as a combo. for anyone building WinCE based projects. I cannot think of an easier launchpad for your next generation ES prototypes and systems!
Happy digging!
